Spielberg Donates To Gay Cause

Moviemaker Steven Spielberg has followed in the footsteps of Brad Pitt by donating $100,000 to a campaign to keep gay marriage legal in California.

Spielberg and his wife Kate Capshaw gave the cash to the anti-Proposition 8 campaign which helps activists oppose a high-level state vote to ban same-sex marriages.

The vote is due to take place in the upcoming November elections.

Gay marriages were legalised in the state in May.

The couple said in a statement: “By writing discrimination into our state constitution, Proposition 8 seeks to eliminate the right of each and every citizen in our state to marry regardless of sexual orientation. Such discrimination has NO place in California’s constitution, or any other.”
